My Kind Of Yo Mama Jokes
Just another funny sticker on a turnstile. Check out A Portrait of Yo Mama as a Young Man, though, and the sticker gets twice as hilarious.
Yo mama uses fake static noises to end face-to-face conversations.
It appears to be one drawn-out snarky, intellectual "Yo Mama" joke, but I'm sure that hardly does the book justice. David Cross and Ben Greenman both seem to love it, and the sticker sold me. I mean, come on:
When people look at yo mama's wedding photos, they remark that she looks "haggard."
Maybe it's just me, but I think that's a classic.

Stickers and My First Apartment
Today, I stumbled on this post, a collection of stickers peeled carefully from the Lower East Side between 1992 and 1995. I'm a big fan of these things, having placed stickers all over the Lower East Side in my time, and this guy has more than a few classics.
This particular scan, though, is my favorite:
There, on the flexible polymer cover of his 1995 monthly planner, is the kingpin sticker that I found on the bathroom mirror of my first apartment in Brooklyn, a studio in Park Slope formerly occupied by an FIT student and her boyfriend, who left behind only ferret droppings and this sticker (dated "nineteen9Dfo"). Every morning, worried about whatever I went to sleep worrying about, I would stare at that sticker as I washed my face, reciting to myself its simple mantra: "Schmoova Than The Head of Telly Savalas". It was an effective calming technique, and I quickly abandoned any notion of trying to remove Telly's sympathetic noggin from my morning routine. I left it behind when I moved out, two and a half years later, and totally forgot my morning discussions with Doctor Savalas -- until today, when Telly and his floating crown popped up in my RSS feeds and reminded me what it means to be thoroughly in control of my situation.
